Scar Hands
One day I sit on a bench in the sun beside the ocean and I looked out over the ocean to see the blue skies and the sun shinning. Then as I looked to my left this person came to sit beside me and he looked clean shaving, and had on nice clothes and looked really good. I just smiled and he smiled back, but I looked at his hands and they seem strange. I wanted to ask how he got his hands like that, but I didn't want to seem rude so I was silent and looked back to the ocean. He looked at me and said Todd Howard right? I answered excuse me do I know you sir?
He said you were just a boy like 10 year old when we met. Your mother use to talk to me about you all the time. Your dad use to call for me when he was in trouble and I would be there to get him through that day. I looked at him and he said I probably got you off guard what your how old now? I said I was 40 and he said right, right your 40 yes I think Todd it was about the 20s you forgot me; I kept in contact with your mother and also your dad they talk to me still.
His hand came on my shoulder and He said even though you forgot me I never forgot the boy who use to call me up and we were good friends. I answered sir your hands how did you get them like that. He answered son when you love someone you would do everything for them. So son these hands are Scar with nails and I gave myself for you 2000 years ago. Then it hit me all the Sunday school lessons and I began crying and fell to my knees and hugged his legs.
I whispered Jesus is this you? He said yes son it is me and I come today to show you that my hands that are scar never left you for one second. He said come up and sit, but he got up and said I love you Todd and my hands are over your life. He walked toward ocean and I yelled out I love you Jesus! He disappeared into the light.
